Exercise Description

The snatch grip deadlift builds explosive hip power and targets your hamstrings and glutes harder than regular deadlifts. The wider grip forces better posture and works your upper back.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, toes under the barbell 2. Grip the bar with hands much wider than shoulder-width, like you're doing a snatch 3. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and lower by pushing your hips back 4. Drive through your heels and thrust your hips forward to lift the snatch grip deadlift 5. Lower the bar by pushing hips back first, keeping the snatch grip deadlift path close to your legs

Form Tips

• Keep the bar path straight up and down during your snatch grip deadlift • Pull your shoulder blades back and down before lifting • Drive your hips forward hard at the top of each rep • The wider snatch grip deadlift grip means you start lower than normal deadlifts

Common Mistakes

• Letting the bar drift away from your body during the snatch grip deadlift • Not going low enough at the start due to the wider grip position • Rounding your back because the snatch grip deadlift requires more mobility
